ABSTRACT:
Over the centuries, producing and teaching theology has been exclusively the task of men, whose agents have constructed discourses that have disqualified women in this regard. Beginning in the 1970s, driven by sociocultural and institutional transformations, women started to insert themselves into this field of knowledge. However, the academic area of theology continues to be a male stronghold, requiring women to continually construct strategies to legitimize themselves as knowledgeable. This work shows how women theology teachers make teaching and producing knowledge a political strategy of the positive affirmation of difference in the process of becoming women in a place historically structured to be unintelligible to them. The study is based on the accounts of teaching and producing theology of 14 teachers from three Catholic institutions.
